Put Me On
B.o.B Lyrics

When I wake up from a full night of sleep,
After resting well, I start my day with enthusiasm and energy.

I put my best foot forward indeed,
I always try my hardest in everything I do.

And as the colors begin to sink,
As I begin to settle into my surroundings,

They seem to say to me, C'mon,
My environment encourages me to keep pushing forward.

C'mon, C'mon, ya gotta put me on, (You gotta put me on)
I'm motivated to succeed and make a name for myself.

Ever since I first arrived here,
From the moment I entered the music industry,

I've been, on the run like an eye tear,
I've been working tirelessly to achieve my goals.

And it, took me a while to get my life steered,
I had to find direction and meaning in my life and career.

But now I'm in the moment,
I'm focused on the present and making the most of it.

While I reside here,
As I continue to work and make my mark in the industry.

That's why I coordinate with my gear,
I pay attention to my appearance and how it represents me.

So you could feel the Feng Shui, soon as I'm near,
I want people to sense a positive vibe when they're around me.

Yeah, And people have the nerve to say that I'm weird?
Despite my uniqueness, I won't let others bring me down.

But you just in a box, So get your mind clear,
Others who judge me are narrow-minded and need to broaden their perspective.

That good music man, we gotta hear,
My music is important and needs to be heard and appreciated.

So we could get the vibe high, like a light gear,
My music can lift people's spirits and bring positivity into their lives.

Or maybe, Fly high like five deer,
My music can take people to new heights and inspire them.

Call me Santa Claus, When I come through I gotta put 'em on...
I see myself as a giver of gifts when I share my music and talent with the world.

Well, ever since I was eleven,
From a young age,

I have, found heaven in my self expression,
I feel fulfilled and alive when I'm able to express myself creatively.

Nope, my childhood I never left it,
I've retained my childlike wonder and creativity as an adult.

Yes, I'm still a big kid, though I never stress it,
I embrace my playful side and don't shy away from it.

Yet, memory is ever lastin,
My childhood memories continue to inspire and shape me.

So, I make moves with a special method,
I have a unique approach to my music and creativity.

That, allow my dreams to get manifested,
My creative process allows me to turn my dreams into reality.

So your plastic Promise Land, no, I can't accept it,
I refuse to conform to mainstream expectations and create music on my own terms.

This life I lead is a very blessed one,
I'm grateful for the opportunities and success I've experienced.

So, that's why fans have many questions,
People are curious about my life and career.

Yet, I still leave any guessin,
I don't like to reveal too much about myself and prefer to keep some mystery.

I'm an artist so I gotta have a bad collection,
As a musician, I'm dedicated to creating a body of work that represents me.

I put 'em on...
I share my music and creativity with the world and inspire others to do the same.

C'mon, C'mon, ya gotta put me on, (You gotta put me on)
I'm determined to succeed and make a name for myself in the music industry.

You gotta put me on...
I'm confident in my talent and know that I have what it takes to make it in the industry.
